LIFE LONG LEARNING IN CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTIONS
In most prison systems, prison punishement is considered as part of rehabilitation ideal, after which people will come back to community completely changed. This change, even if it is practised, is not easy at all, specially in condition of punishement servitude. Main purpose of prison punishement is social rehabilitation of convicts, which is carried out through educational treatmant. In order to make social rehabilitation and resocialization as succesfull as possible, it is necesery to create and addapt treatmant to each convict personaly. This is the reason why we, in prison in Banjaluka, from 2007. to 2010. intorduced many inovative approaches. Some of these inovations were: foreign language courses, computer usage education (were educators were also prisoners), magazine that is written and published by convicts, many exhibition of different work done by convicts, taking part in competitions outside the prison, and many other forms of education that also changed attitude of convicts towards punishment. This approach to social rehabilitation work became recognized, not only in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but also in whole region. It is based on principals of humanization, individualization, democracy and resocialization. Main goal of this paper is to present how educational aspect can be important in correctional treatment, and how much concept of life long learning can contribute to succefull rehabilitation of convicts.

RELEVANCE OF HIGHER EDUCATION COMPETENT TEACHERS TO PRESENT RELIGIOUS TEACHING IN SCHOOLS
In terms of religious education at school, there is widespread consensus that knowledge, religion and belief is an important part of quality education that can promote democracy and freedom of religion and contribute to the understanding of social diversity. To achieve this, the introduction of religion is classes as an elective subject in schools. The teaching of this subject, accompanied by numerous problems: not performed properly, is not in line with the general intellectual and psycho physiological development of students, and is performed under competent teachers. Religious education generally performs sacred persons who know the profession, but not teaching. Performed by the teachers who are teaching methodologists, but not expert methodologists. Hence the suspicion of its justification and necessity, but also calls for religious education as a subject terminates, because it led to many more doubts and prejudices, but you know what has the educational performance in school. All this points to the importance of higher education and the need to carry out competent teachers of religious education in schools, in particular directions at teacher, pedagogical and philosophical faculties. This would be the appropriate curriculum prepared qualified teachers of religious education, to own a professional and expert knowledge, pedagogical-psychological, methodological and other competencies to perform religious education in school.
ROLE AND PLACEMENT OF A PSYCHOLOGIST IN HIGH SCHOOL
Educational facilities are important part of every society. Through educational process students should develop certain characteristics, such as: need for learning, social acceptance and self-accomplishment, socially desirable stand-points, emotional stability etc. For this process, speaking of high-school education, to be partially or completely carried out, understanding and adequate approach towards difficulties adolescents encounter is needed (negative attitude towards school and school obligations, feeling of detachment, insecurity towards themselves and their abilities, physical changes, experimenting with alcohol and eventually substance abuse etc.). Previously stated characteristics and difficulties indisputably point to importance of presence of psychologists in high-schools. To critically evaluate role and placement of psychologists in schools it is important to get acquainted with planned (expected) obligations of this professional associate, as well as real possibility for those obligations to be accomplished. Important part in work of school psychologist is perception and acceptance of his profession, then role and placement of psychologist in school by teachers, students, principal and other associates. Objective of this work is to show planned influence of psychologist on different segments of educational work of teachers, and then real possibilities and circumstances he can act within. Furthermore, through analysis of attitude of teachers, principal towards affairs and “problems” psychologist is expected to manage, to obtain an insight into their expectations, the extent they are willing to cooperate to, and the basic domain, in their opinion, in which psychologist in school should function.
RELATIONS OF MOTOR ABILITIES AND RESULTS OF SHORT SPRINT RUNNING
The sample of examinees consists of young female athletes (90 in total), high-school students, age group 16-17 (± 6 months) involved in the training process in athletic clubs in Niš. The subject of research are motor abilites as a predictor system and speed of short sprint running as a criterion system. The main aim of research is to determine relations and impacts between motor abilites, on one side, and results of 100 and 200 m running, on the other. The software „Statistica“ 8.0 for Windows has been used for measuring following parameters: basic statistics, canonical correlation analysis and regression analysis. The results of the study show that there are statistically significant relations and impacts between the set of variables for motor abilities assessment and results of sprint disciplines running (100 m and 200m).

PEDAGOGICAL STYLE AS DETERMINANTS OF INDEPENDENCE IN YOUNG PEOPLE
Adolescence is a period of many challenges, making and choosing from endless possibilities, period when the achievement of independence is "expected". This expectation is based on two grounds - in the adolescent, as well as in the position of parents. Starting with the assertion that parenthood is the most beautiful role in life of a human, but at the same time the most difficult one, it is hard to imagine a completely self-realization of an individual without its influence. Factors that influence on the outcome of parenthood are diverse, and the consequences of adequate selection of styles are of essential value in fulfilling the role of a parent in terms of preparing their children for complete independence. Psychological separation, that is, independence in context of work, presents a multidimensional construct and refers to the questions of attachment and autonomy in late adolescence. In this regard, the subject of work is directed towards the analysis of achieved individuation - independence of adolescents, as a product of parents’ different pedagogical styles in use.

PEDAGOGICAL QUALITY IN PRESCHOOL INSTITUTIONS, EDUCATION AND CARE: THE ISSUE OF MEASUREMENT INDICATORS AND THE SEARCH FOR MEANING IN THEIR
In the era of the establishment of the system framework of preschool education in Republic of Srpska walking quickly to catch up with the decade-long backlog of institutional preschool education, the question of pedagogical quality seems unnecessary controversy, and luxury. On the one hand, it can seem as an attempt to immediately fly from horse drawn carts in the space shuttle with the unprepared and untrained drivers who are yet to review and restructure, not only a century of social practice, but also to take a difficult effort to overcome understanding and knowledge of the form "universe" that they have so far studied, gathering valuable experience of their predecessors, all with the "support" command station that has required, a bit outdated technology and the lack of trained logistics and clear financial background. On the other hand, the need for pedagogical quality may be called into question or whether it is really necessary at this point, at this level of development of preschool education, if the system can and does speak in the substantial, but the formal sense, what we learn from the latest strategy of education development in Republic of Srpska where the preschool education starts from the age of five? The concept of "pedagogical quality" in the last decade of the twentieth century transformed and today it goes from the area of measuring to the area of finding meaning and value in what we are doing. Thus the institutional preschool education becomes slippery area where one should be particularly cautious, keeping in mind that this is about the welfare of the citizens whose rights have only recently been proclaimed, and whose learning and development characteristics, when taken from their perspective, are little known (eg education at an early age). As the system of education, even at the preschool level is "a good, silent and humble" polygon for "overnight – under the table" "reforms," and a testing ground for experiments in vivo, it is worthwhile to examine contemporary approaches to this problem and use the knowledge others have reached. Even more so, because the question of pedagogical quality, or at least question of the effects in terms of achievement of its actors - children (depending on arbitrary decisions and the effects of happiness), quickly come to the repertoire of preschool education in Republic of Srpska especially when you begin to seriously study and implement legislation and a number of pedagogical rules that are either already announced or are expected to release their procedures.
BASIC FUNDAMENTS OF CONTEMPORARY METHODICS OF PRESCHOOL EDUCATION RELATED TO INTEGRATED PROGRAMMES OF EARLY STUDING
The paper is totally dedicated to consideration of dilemas about what could be basics for good programme of early studing and what kind of attitude to methodics of preschoold educations could be acceptable, taking into consideration theory and practice of preshcool education in BiH and programmes implemented within. Nevertheless, the main impression is that „programme confusion“ lasts for too long in BiH, especially in regard to sticking to inherited concepts of „studing in preschool time“, it is certain that actual tendencies however mostly divert to so called „integrated curicullum“, whatever that term basically entails. A good programme of early (preschool) studing (the period from birth to enrolling to school) has to be mainly directed towards contemporary paradigm of studing in general and organisation of favorable environment, which is the focus of the paper. However, this could be proportional to endavour and manner in which „the new role of teacher“ is understood, how can we in general consider the term „competency“ and how we must influence its development. If we understand them as „POWER“ which is combination of valuable orientation, personal characteristics, attitudes, motives, knowledge and skills that are being developed during initial professional development and improvement or self-improvement, for profession called „teacher“, or any other, then the definition itslef descibes the compexity of their development.

SPATIAL AND FINCTIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF PRESCHOOL EDUCATION IN REPUBLIC OF SRPSKA
Subject of research is related to spatial and functional development of preschool education,in many respects specificial,but very significant within education system as a whole. Spatio-functional development of preschool education should point to neccessary changes of spatial arrangement and prestructuring and it covers preschool population by this segment of education which will initiate and instigate development of other functions. According to technical literature,exploratory experience,basis of statistical facts and formulated aimof research in this project, it can be accessed formulation of researching hypothesis. Hypothesis in this project are set in a function : assumption of the state in a preschool education ,assumption of conditionality of one factor by other in saptio-functional development of preschool education. Expected results on this project have special value on social community,such as development of school population at all levels and interdependence with socio-economic development of Srpska. Significance of expected results for development of science – is reflected in case of researching problem that is set by virtue of theoretical cognitions that are in literature and at this rate make contribution of theoretical knowledge on researched occurrences in a domain of humanistic and social science.
PRINCIPAL’S TIME MANAGEMENT COMPATIBILITY
In this piece of writing we tried to indicate the most important factors of irrational time use (time wasters) while carrying on school activities and possibilities of upgrading some of the elements of principal’s time management compatibility. Special attention is dedicated to elements of time management compatibility which are important for successful time management itself: self-organisation, establishing priorities, organising team work, meaningful duty assigning and responsibilities, etc.

TEACHER AS A PERSONAL FACTOR OF SUCCESSFUL INDIVIDUALIZATION TEACHING NATURE AND SOCIETY
The individualization of teaching has an important role in improving and streamlining course of nature and society. Its application the student as an individual has the optimum conditions for the development, promotion and the formation of his personality. The level of implementation of individualization of teaching natural science and the way in implementing teaching practice is conditioned by a number of factors. It is necessary to consider changes in conditions in which it will develop individualization, successes and limitations of scientific and theoretical foundation, didactic and methodological characteristics of innovative, new designs, models, variants and methods of individualization of teaching natural science and their effect on the improvement of educational work. The object of labor is the need to formulate and analyze the teaching competence of their contribution to the quality of education students in order to successfully individualization in teaching of nature and society. Particular emphasis was paid to professional skills and personality traits of teachers that make it professionally competent in the application of different models of individualization of teaching, and relate to: knowledge of the essence of the model of individualization and differentiation of teaching natural science, competence of teachers, innovation and creativity of teachers, teachers' communication skills, knowledge of students and to meet the appropriate material and technical conditions.

DEVELOPMENT AND STRENGTHENING OF COMPETENCE IN MUSIC EDUCATION SECTOR
Focusing our attention on developing and strengthening competencies in music education, this paper aimed at the presentation of different approaches to acquiring them. The work contains the competencies that have been identified by Russian scientists (Trjapicina, Radionova, Cipin) together with the competencies that we have proposed. The synthesis of the known data with what we suggested, in our opinion, is to create a compact scientific and practical usable whole. In this paper, we pointed out some of the problems that accompany the acquisition of competence in music education, some of which are: insufficient number of students with previously acquired musical education, lack of time for a better introduction to the vocal and instrumental tuition in school, and the lack of papers in the area the former Yugoslavia dealing with this issue.
A BOND BETWEEN LANGUAGES AND CULTURES: LITERATURE IN TEACHING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE
Most teachers consider literature as a separate subject that has nothing to do with language learning. This assumption is based on a reductive interpretation of the concept of language teaching and learning. The fact, however, remains that there are several benefits that a language learner can derive from the inclusion of literature in the educational curriculum for language learning. This paper investigates and analyzes the extent and importance of literary discourse in foreign language acquisition.
USE OF EDUCATIONAL SITES IN THE PREPARATION AND REALISATION ACTIVITIES IN ELEMENTARY GRADES
Intensive development of the Internet opened, but and imposed plenty of opportunities to use it in the teaching process. WWW is one of most used Internet services. Web offers a number of educational sites that can be used in the preparation and realization of teaching if they fulfilled at least three conditions: technical - technological equipment of schools, computer literacy teacher and didactic - methodical competence for the implementation of educational sites in the teaching process. This paper perceived the use and highlighted the limitations in the use of educational sites in the preparation and realization of teaching in elementary grades. Through empirical research (which included 184 teachers) we examined the relationship between availability and use of the Internet at home and at school, educational sites that teachers use, with special attention to the use of content from educational portal Edu-soft, frequency of use of educational sites by subject and opinions of teachers about the difficulties in the use of educational sites in the classroom. Based on theoretical knowledge and results of empirical research we have formulated suggestions for more efficient and more effective use of educational sites in the teaching process.
MANAGEMENT OF INNOVATION IN TEACHING PHYSICAL EDUCATION
The development of modern technologies has intensified in the last decade and caused innovation in all spheres of society. These technologies have caused rapid changes in production, social relations around the world, changes in people's lives and their education. Management of innovation in education is very complex, because of teachers resistance that occurs due to inadequate training and inadequate equipment in schools. Overcoming this problem involves long training directors and teachers in the field of modern technology. The development of information technology and constant innovation of educational technology causes changes in the methods and forms of teaching and organization that would be optimal in the era of widespread use of Internet and electronic sources of knowledge. New knowledge, new inventions and new technologies are directly or indirectly, to reform and improve the educational system, changes in curriculum and other sources of knowledge, improving teaching techniques and technology. We will mention some of the discoveries that have an impact on physical education.
THE CONNECTION OF MOTOR ABILITES AND SITUATIONMOTOR ABILITIES OF YOUNG FOOTBALLERS
The aim of this work is to determine the connection of motor abilities and situation-motor abilities of young footballers. Examinees are in the age group 8 – 14 and they are approximately three years in the training process. The battery consisting of 18 criterion variables (motor tests) has been used. Regression analysis has been applied in order to define the link between motor abilities (as a set of predictor variables) and complex motor structures (as a set of criterion variables). The example of criterion variable slalom with a ball compared with other predictor variables shows the significant correlation coefficient which proves the interconnection between motor and situationmotor abilities.
VARIOUS THEORETICAL ASPECTS RESEARCH IN TEACHING OF MATHEMATICS
This article discusses the central question of how to deal with the diversity and the richness of existing theories in mathematics education research. In the framework “Different theoretical perspectives and approaches in research in mathematics education” we will indicate why diversity is a challenge for the academic community of mathematicians, mathematics education implementers and researches in mathematic education. Also, we will mention some important aspects and issues which have occured in discussions of Working groups at conferences of ERME (CERME 3 (2003) – CERME 6(2009)) such as: problem of hidden assumptions, individual/social impact and challenge to constructivism and assumptions concerning the nature of mathematical knowledge that are crucial for the analysis of similarities and differentes between theoretical approaches. To do this, we propose ways to structure building and discussing theories and we contrast the demand for integrating theories with the idea of networking theories.

MEANS AND MATERIALS FOR TEACHING WORK IN INITIAL READING AND WRITING
This paper analyzes textual and other media devices in teaching initial reading and writing and provides critical judgments about them. We have discussed the issue of the quality of textbooks and made recommendations for their improvement. The practice of writing textbooks is related to their educational uses and methodical theories. This paper provides a comparative analysis between the Primer (first reader) and First book (starter book for children) is currently used in the Republic of Srpska as well as the additional teaching and ancillary media such as spelling books, workbooks and methodical aids for graphomotor exercises. We used analytical-descriptive methods and classification methods. The results show that the textbooks and other teaching resources meet the basic didactic and methodological requirements for writing a textbook, but it is necessary to act further on their development and improvement.
EARLY DETECTION OF CREATIVITY AS A BASIS FOR SOCIAL PROGRESS
The development and discovery of creative skills in the learning process,as a key problem of education, have growing social and economic significance. Creatively active personality is a necessary condition for the development of science, culture and social relations, and therefore, of great importance is to recognize those who have the potential in themselves. Only, a illustration of a few comparative results of respondents can give an accurate picture of whether the creative potential is really there or is it just the result of one's subjective perceptions. Therefore, this work, besides indicating the necessity of early identification of students creativity, aims to examine the degree of agreement of teachers, parents and students assessments about the presence of students creative qualities.
The author starts his work with the thesis that human of the future will be able to control its genetic changes. Evolution and human history show that genetic changes in humans moved from individual satisfaction of needs to cooperative life in community and evolutional self-management. Even today, we have proof that changes in the body can be made under the influence of suggestion and autosuggestion. The author describes experiments that speak of influences of suggestion and autosuggestion on pain reduction, weaning off of smoking, etc. The power of autosuggestion and hypnosis have been left out of modern science reach today. The next thesis is that the future for smol number of humans will be different from the rest of humanity/mankind and this will first happen to the most powerful and rich people as they will be able to afford and pay for genetic perfection and cloning of their own organs, which is presently well recognized in practice. In this paper, the author described especially interesting Daryl Bem research showing how our spirit or Psi energy can travel faster than time and that prediction represents what the future human will more and more win. In the end, the author gives performance of key competences of the future human which include а) evolutional self-management, b) emotional self-management, c) symhedonia competence and d) human-machine competence.
COMBINED CLASSES – PEDAGOGIC CHALLENGE OF CONTEMPORARY EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM (How to preserve small countryside schools?)
Village schools and combined classes are our reality to which, objectively speaking, unproportionally small attention is given in relation to objective difficulties of villages, sphere of interest, specifics and needs of school practices within. Fall of birthrate, on one hand, lead to migration movement of population from villages towards towns, on the other hand, lead to significant reduction of school population, which leads to the question of “existence of small village schools”, although there are serious reasons to preserve them. One of these is realistic expectation that their existence would probably slow down “empting” and existence of many villages, if it would, in line with scientific achievements in education, modernise schools, and move villages towards urban culture. This work is dedicated to finding motives and didactic-methodical concept which would make them “modern” and more efficient, or at least” possible”, in contrast to ordinary pedagogic inheritance of previous epochs, which proclaim that combined classes are “inevitable evil” and “ the most difficult school work” that is most likely to be avoided. Authors of this paper are convinced that combined classes are “pedagogical challenge” and that there are many innovative solutions which will enable that school classes become more comfortable and convenient and “the community that learns”, and that teachers must be prepared for them on a significantly different way.
SCHOOL TRANSITION IN RURAL AREAS IN REPUBLIC OF SRPSKA – CHALLENGE FOR OPTIMIZATION OF THE NETWORK OF SCHOOLS
School system represents a part of educational sytem of every country. Functioning of such complex system strongly affects many social segments. There are not as many problems in system of education in Republic of Srpska that are so current as the case with small schools. That timeliness comes from the significant social and pedagogical role that small schools have, their representation in school system, tradition as long as an organized school system in our areas, demographic movement of population. School system in the Republic of Srpska represents a double system that contains a great number of extremely small rural schools and relatively small number of large urban schools. Rural schools make 87% of total school number which are attended by only 41,55% of students population. These two types operate in drastically different conditions comparing them according to quality indicators, equality and efficiency. Existent school system and educational institutions represents significant base and its true mobilization and utilization runs many important issues.
DISADVANTAGES OF UNIVERSITY CURRICULA CONSIDERING TEACHING METHODOLOGY AT DEPARTMENTS FOR TEACHING PROFESSIONS
Bearing in mind that the main role of the faculties for teachers all around the world is education of teachers who are going to work in primary or secondary school, it is logical that the document called Standards and competences for the teacher's profession and their professional development issued by Ministry of Education of Republic of Srbija in Belgrade 2011, named four groups of competences as follows: 1. Teaching area, subject and teaching methodology, 2. Teaching and learning, 3. Support to development of student's personality, 4. Communication and cooperation On the basis of the above, and in accordance with the main topic, we have decided to talk about teaching methodology in contemporary university programs at teaching faculties from the point of view based on professional standards and competences which are necessary for the efficient and quality teaching practice in the classroom. This report indicates concrete disadvantages of these programs we have encountered by their comparative analyzes. It also presents clear proposals for improvement of these programs in order to help young teachers to be ready for teaching practice after they pass their teaching methodology exam at their faculty, or we can say, to be ready for teaching practice on their subject in the classroom, which is not the case today.

PROBLEMS OF INITIAL EDUCATION OF THE GEOGRAPHY TEACHERS
The paper analyzes the problems related to initial (undergraduate) education of the geography teachers in the Republic of Srpska and Bosnia and Herzegovina, which have arisen as a result of reforms in higher education. Also, the paper analyzes the curriculums of education of the geography teachers in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In addition to expert knowledge of geography, future geography teachers need to acquire pedagogicalpsychological and didactic-methodical knowledge in accordance with the European standards in order to be trained for quality work in the classroom. In the course of initial education of the geography teachers special attention should be paid to didactic- methodical practice. From the various curricula it's evident there is no sufficient number of classes for this group og subjects.
PLACE AND ROLE OF METHODS IN THE CONCEPT OF EDUCATION OF TEACHERS ACCORDING TO EUROPEAN STANDARDS
The complex field of teacher education has a lot of contradictions, tensions and paradoxes. In a time of rapid changes, teacher education requires continuous improvement,training and reform. In the last ten years there were several important research studies on quality of teacher education in the member states of the European Union. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development issued the 2005th year report titled "Teachers are important" which contains the evidence that the quality of teachers is one of the most important factors that influence the success of students. Green Paper on Teacher Education in Europe, points to the necessity of " high-quality education and training of teachers for the implementation of the reform of education sector, the reform of the curriculum, and effective use of new technologies in the learning process." This paper deals with the questions of how much the study of elementary school teaching nowadays in Republic of Srpska and region trains teachers for fulfilling ali the requirements that are ahead of them according to European standards, what the plans and programs are and how much of the Serbian language teaching methodology and methodical practice they contain. This paper uses the method of theoretical analysis and descriptive methods.
WHAT ARE THE EXPECTATIONS OF PRESCHOOL INSTITUTIONS IN EDUCATION OF „PRESCHOOL TEACHERS OF THE FUTURE” ?
In the past decade significant progress in the reform of preschool education in the Republic of Srpska was made, primarily in terms of orientation towards a comprehensive Curriculum, and towards the adoption of laws and acts with a series of measures for improving the social status of preschool children. Still, the compliance of education of "preschool teachers of the future", as holders of the educational process with the changes that have occurred in the practice of preschool institutions can be rightly questioned. Open preschool education Curriculum based on the aspects of child development and on the authentic individualization will require a host of new competencies, knowledge and skills necessary for the recognition of children's needs in a timely manner and for the support of the development opportunities of each individual child. The paper deals with the core competencies and personality traits of future teachers, with an emphasis on the key role of teachers training faculties in their education and acquiring skills of basic knowledge about the importance of early childhood development. The question is whether today's teachers training faculties can educate "teachers of the future"?
FINE ARTS IN THE SERVICE OF CHILDREN'S DEVELOPMENT
This paper includes an overview of the importance of artistic expression and creativity in the development of preschool and young school-age children. An artistic expression is an important form of communication of the child with himself and the world around him. Stages through which the child passes in the artistic sense reflect the development or backwardness of his personality as a whole. The creative works of children express their emotional development, intellectual, physical, development of perception as well as social and creativity development. There are regularities and errors in the pedagogical approach when developing, guiding and assessing children's expression in fine arts. The aim of this paper is to deal more serious with the ways that best cultivate children's creativity and thus a complete personality development of the child. This review covers the knowledge, experience and actions of eminent educators in the world and in our country too, dealing with the problem of art within the process of child development.
THE APPLICATION OF MODERN INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING
Modern education in the world today is almost inconceivable without the support of the new information technologies. This paper deals with the positive and negative effects of modern information and communication technologies and their application in foreign language teaching. Computer technology in the teaching of a foreign language can be used to help students develop their communication and writing skills. In addition, although new technology enables a new form of communication, the communication between teachers and students as well as communication among the students must not be lost. Therefore, we can conclude that technology and the Internet in the classroom should be used only as an aid to motivate students and to make language learning easier and more fun to them, because it is the only way possible to achieve the best results in the foreign language teaching and learning.
PROBLEM TASKS IN THE INTEGRATION OF THE MATHEMATICS IN COMBINED CLASSES
Modern mathematics teaching in the basic education cycle, as one of its main goals sets the acquisition of practical knowledge in mathematics which are necessary to understand and successfully use everyday information, and, accordingly, to have active and creative approach to the problems of real life.Bearing in mind the increasing number of combined classes in the Republic of Srpska in which two, three, four or five classes are integrated together, and the requirements of modern school in terms of acquiring comprehensive knowledge, it is necessary, whenever it is possible, to integrate mathematics curriculum at the classroom level. This establishes a mathematical communication among students of all grades which contributes to the adoption, mastering and application of new mathematical concepts, close to the age levels, to solve the same problems in life. In this sense, an important factor in teaching integrated subjects in the combined classes are problem-solving tasks that by their content are reflecting the current social events, and by their quantitative data, and linguistic formulation are adapting to learning outcomes ofintegrated classes as well. This approach of teaching mathematics in combined classes enables simultaneous active communication using mathematical language among all participants in the learning process, and a close, interesting and motivating problem-solving situations enable authentic empirical learning.
REVIEW AND ANALYSIS OF STUDENTS’ NEEDS, INTERESTS AND SUGGESTIONS REGARDING ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE TEACHING AT THE TEACHERS’ TRAINING FACULTY IN BIJELJINA
The traditional grammar-translation method is still being used by English language teachers at most faculties in this region, including The Teachers’ Training Faculty in Bijeljina. The students are mainly disinterested, they lack discipline and show a poor level of their linguistic and communicative competence even after several years of learning. At the beginning, it was assumed that the techniques, which in addition to intellectual side also include emotional content, can contribute to motivation increase and solve the problem of discipline. In order to achieve more effective results in foreign language teaching and learning, it has been suggested that the syllabuses should be created according to students’ wishes, needs and interests. This paper gives the review and analysis of these needs and interests, and attitudes and suggestions given by students may be used as important guidelines for modernization of English language teaching at the university level.
